His grape farm has been transported with him, complete with modern equipment and a secret gift called 'Immortal'.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT R18][SMUTS]Rex Rexilion was a scumbag piece of shit—and he knew it.He was a bully. A serial heartbreaker. A man who laughed at consequences and crushed others for fun.When death finally claimed him, Rex expected hell. Instead, he woke up in another world.A cruel, lawless fantasy realm where heroes are hypocrites, gods are bored, and morality is just another currency.Before Rex could even process his reincarnation, a sarcastic system appeared before his eyes with a mocking, smug, and disturbingly honest personality.[Desire Authority System Activated.][Objective: Harvest desire from all womens you can get.]The rules were simple and ridiculous: the deeper the desire of MILFs, GILFs, queens, widows, and forgotten legends, the stronger Rex would become.All of his strength, skills, titles, even fate itself would bend to him as long as he continued indulging in temptation.To Rex, it sounded less like a curse and more like a joke.A joke he was very willing to play along with.Armed with shameless charm, villainous intelligence, and a system that grew stronger the more morally questionable his actions became, Rex carved a path of chaos through kingdoms and noble houses alike.Seduction replaced swords. Manipulation replaced honor. And laughter followed wherever disasters unfolded.Heroes hunted him. Churches condemned him. Empires whispered his name with fear and fascination.Yet Rex never pretended to be a savior.“Villain?” he would scoff.“No. I’m just honest about my desires.”As wars ignited over affection and alliances collapsed over whispered promises, Rex Rexilion rose, not as a hero, but as something far more dangerous:A villain who understands desire better than gods.In this world, righteousness will fall.And Rex will laugh as it burns.----------------------------What to expect:No NTR, No Yuri, A lot of Netori where MC steals someone's girl, pure villain MC, and LARGE harem

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo!It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System.The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. And any money he gained, aside from system reimbursement couldn't be used by him on himself.His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt.In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen.So, he tried. Oh, how he tried...He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger.[Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!]He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'.[Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!]To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand.Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'.But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face.“Please,” he cried, “I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!”

A marriage contract lasting three years, a marriage in name only, as if they were strangers.To provide for her child, she went out to work in a large corporation, only to find her boss was actually her contract husband...“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude. I chose the company because the salary was high enough.”The man flipped through the resume in his hand and asked casually, “Why did you take a year off from university when you were 19?”“I, when I was a freshman... something happened in my family.”“Is that so? Then why do you have a scar on your lower abdomen?”“I had appendectomy...”His gaze was inscrutable.......After a three-year marriage, she signed the divorce agreement with a heavy heart.She turned and walked away with dignity and poise, like a splash of light ink.But why did this man keep pursuing her?
